Animals in Trees

What a beautiful week! This week our focus was on the question What animals live in trees? We did some exploration, some art and some reading, and a LOT of playing. 

Don't forget that tomorrow is Green Up Day from 8:00am - 5:00pm! You can find Cyrus's family at the town office handing out trash bags and granola bars. Help beautify our roadsides and take care of our town! See the school newsletter for more details. 

Enjoy pictures from our eventful week!

Kristine brought materials to make dandelion play dough. It takes a lot of patience to wait for your turn to measure and stir. Cooking with kids is such a great activity that helps develop so many skills!
